(Closed) 1-1-11

So I am pretty excited about getting married on 1-1-11, but am nervous about people being annoyed with me choosing to get married on a date usually reserved for “recovery” so to speak. I have not officialy announced the date yet, just told a few close friends and family members to get a feel for their reactions. I figure if I have the wedding start around 3 it gives guests plenty of time to sleep in if need be. Has anyone had any experience with New Years weddings before? Any advice or thoughts would be appreciated!! Thanks so much!!

Thanks for all the input guys, I really appreciate it! I am starting to feel better about it already. I think 3 o’clock is the latest I will go, beng catholic I know the ceremony will be forever long and I don’t want to have pictures in the dark. I am hoping for snow-fall that day to get awesome outdoor pics!!

I love the date too. I’ve said this before on the WB board, but I’ll say again. You’re becoming one on 1-1-11 and even more cool if the ceremony starts at 1 o’clock. LOL!!! Congrats t you you 1-1-11 brides-to-be.

Maybe I’m the odd ball in the bunch but I feel nervous about the date (not about getting married). I really want people to come to a wedding I’ve been planning for over a year (though I can’t settle on color). Any color suggestions? lol Do you think you’re going to have trouble getting people to come? I didn’t want to send out Save The Dates (to save on money and papers) but now I feel like I should so that people can plan for this, even though they’ll know by word of mouth.

That’s my sister’s wedding date! Initially, some family members were annoyed that it would take place during big football events, but she is doing hers later in the evening (7 PMish) so that the games are hopefully over by then.
